It&#39;s been four years and more than a million views on YouTube, but<a href="http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/existential-cat-henri-returns-youtube/"> Henri the cat</a> still wrestles with the throes of success.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
His life,<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M7ibPk37_U&amp;feature=youtu.be"> comfortable and air-conditioned</a> as it may be, is riddled with doubts and insecurities. Days turn into months, but Henri remains a cat, a feline bereft of voice and pride and opposable thumbs.</p>
<p>
&quot;Nothing has changed,&quot; he tells his audience in French. &quot;I&#39;m told I&#39;m famous on the Internet. But for what? My torment?&quot;</p>
<p>
In the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/HenriLeChatNoir">third installment</a> of Seattle director Will Braden&#39;s &quot;Henri&quot; series, the tortured feline ponders his fate from the operating room of the veterinarian&#39;s office, questioning depression and disillusionment as the vet &quot;checks for gunk in my ears.&quot;</p>

<p>
Posted onto YouTube Saturday, the video has already accrued over 100,000 views and an endless supply of kind words. Some of those words have even gone towards Henri, who&#39;s rarely depicted as the subject of such support.</p>
<p>
&quot;Henri, you are not alone,&quot; YouTuber froglady3344 wrote. &quot;My kitties listen carefully and nod in agreement to your depressive existence&hellip; You are able to put into words what they can only accept, wordlessly&hellip; We love you and I think I detected a small smile, or was that a sneer? Mon ami, Je t&#39;aime.&quot;</p>
